Bangalore's Spatial Gathering

GeoBLR #4 – Spatial Data in India.

We will have our fourth meetup to discuss the state of spatial data in India. There are several questions for discussion – what data is available, who is controlling it, what does it mean to use and publish the data etc. This time, we are going to gather at the Center for Internet and Society.

GeoBLR, started in 2013, is a monthly gathering around mapping, spatial technology, and data.

Working closely with the DataMeet community, GeoBLR engages individuals, organisations and the government in conversations around spatial data problems. The idea of openness is at the center of GeoBLR. Since the inception, GeoBLR has organised thirteen meetups around an array of topics like PIN codes, OpenStreetMap, as well as conversation with field experts. In 2015, GeoBLR aims to further strengthen the OpenStreetMap community in the city.
